Keir Starmer Faces Ultimatum After Shock Green Party Victory

Labour MPs demand Starmer change direction as Greens overturn 13,000 majority in humiliating byelection loss for party
Keir Starmer is facing a party ultimatum to change direction after the Green Party scored a historic byelection victory in Gorton and Denton, overturning a significant Labour majority. Hannah Spencer, a local Green councillor and plumber, became the party's fifth MP, leaving Labour in second place and Reform UK's Matt Goodwin in third.
The humiliating defeat has sparked calls from Labour MPs for Starmer to shift the party's approach, with some warning of a potential leadership challenge within months if he fails to do so. The Green Party's triumph in the traditionally Labour stronghold has raised serious questions about the direction of the main opposition party under Starmer's leadership.
